Gingrich Recommends 'Transformation' of Medicare

In this CNSNews.com story by Jeff Johnson, former Speaker Newt Gingrich explains -- in full-blown Gingrichian style -- why Medicare should be transformed (not reformed, he says, transformed) from the current top-down federally controlled system to something based on the Federal Employee Health Benefit plan.
